Topic: Sony Rx-1 (Read 8718 times)

Just curious - how interested are you guys in purchasing this camera as a secondary backup to your DSLR? If not this specific sony rx-1 how about a canon full frame compact camera?

Is there a market for it? What's a price you'd be willing to pay?

While the rx-1 looks and sounds amazing - I don't know that I could stomach spending 3k on a fixed lens camera. The idea behind it is awesome tho. I'm reading lots of rumors of the nex-9 (or whatever it ends up being) that will be Sony's FF mirrorless camera entry.

Now that I might pick up.

Kinda interested what everyone's thoughts were on this.

Its an amazing camera, and wouldn't mind the fixed lens. Its just that I rather get an EOS-M for 799$

I agree, the Sony looks amazing. The few image samples that Sony has posted look amazing too. But it's pretty expensive. The EOS-M isn't that different from the Sony and is just a small fraction of the price ($800 vs. $2,800). As far as I can tell, the key differences are that the EOS-M has an APS-C sensor and lacks the manual aperture dial and ... well ... likely the Sony offers better image quality. On the other hand, the EOS-M accepts interchangeable lenses, while the Sony doesn't.

not interested at all. for that price, I could get two new L lenses, or the 5D MK III. I get that the small size is great, but if I wanted portability I'd still rather get a m4/3 or NEX or whatever, and still have money left for an L lens.

for those interested in SONYi caught a snapshot of the RX1 @ the photokina:SONY RX1 by Ingo Kwiat, on Flickr

...maybe this camera is a kind of inspiration for an EOS M-6 with a FF sensor an EF mount

Is that the hood at the bottom right?... Does it come as part of the kit or do you buy it separately for £50???

I took a hiatus from CR for a year and a half. The discussions haven't changed much. Excellent information is still being shared while people bitching about Canon cameras are still bitching and haven't moved on to Sony

I felt exceedingly shortchanged when my RX-100 didn't come with a dedicated battery charger (I can buy one separately but then why is not part of the kit?) but these £149 are enough to startle me even in my current sleep deprived state.

I just ordered one. I played with it yesterday @ sony storeAGAIN. I doubt the next FF nex-9 will be smaller than current rx1, due to fixed lens. Can't wait, I'll post some pics once the camera arrived.
